Hi,
It would be neat to allow a "poor man's" kexec. Select kernel and
initramfs. Then pick which root to use. Makes multiple iso type images
much easier. I can see arguements for both pivot and overlay behavior.

While I find the build process basically opaque, I think

You gotta be kidding!! XX megabytes is enough for anyone!

Hi All,
Not strictly related to your question, but somewhat relevant.
FWIW - The order of "turning on" the various "ports" of the atheros
wifi driver *DOES* matter. Client mode MUST be the first one if enabled. I
gather there are other significant but opaque requirements also :(

I support a 2mb version for a somewhat different reason. It seems to

It optionally does a 'kexec' to a possibly attached USB/MMC memory
